- Oral Cancer Screening with ViziLite Plus
Oral cancer is one of the most cureable diseases when it's caught early. The ViziLite Plus oral cancer screening is successful in identifying precancerous and cancerous abnormalities in the mouth, including oral leasions at their earliest stage of development.
- Neuromuscular Dentistry
The growing field of neuromuscular dentistry goes beyond using your habitual bite as the basis for planning treatment. Neuromuscular dentistry considers the entire system that controls the positioning and function of your jaw: teeth, muscles and joints. The neuromuscular dentist seeks to establish a harmonious relationship among these three main factors, resulting in a jaw position that is called neuromuscular occlusion.
- TMJ
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint connecting the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull (temporal bone). The lower jaw and the skull are connected by a number of muscles and ligaments, which function in harmony with each other if the lower jaw is in the correct position. The head of the jaw bone (lower jaw) is called the condyle and it fits into the concavity of the temporal bone called the glenoid fossa.
- Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment changes the positioning of your teeth and in so doing improves their appearance and function. It may also enhance facial appearance and how your jaw muscles and joints function.
- Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to come in and usually appear in the teen years. When they align properly, and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. They can be impacted, however, which means they have nowhere to grow. In these cases, they should be removed.
- Implants/Reconstructive Dentistry
If you want a dental restoration that looks and feels as though it's really part of your mouth, dental implants may be right for you. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. Your jawbone fuses with the implant to provide a secure platform for a prosthesis (artificial tooth).
- Cosmetic Dentistry
While consideration of improving appearance is part of any dental treatment, because of recent activities in dental procedures and materials, patients are increasingly coming to dentists purely for cosmetic reasons—they want a more beautiful smile!
- Root Canal Treatment
Successful root canal treatment lets you keep your tooth. The only other option is to have your tooth removed. Keeping your tooth helps to prevent your other teeth from drifting out of line and causing jaw problems or gum disease.
- Gum Disease
Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems adults face, but it can begin at just about any
age. Gum disease often develops slowly and without causing any pain. Sometimes you may not notice
any signs until the disease is serious and you are in danger of losing teeth.
- Tooth Whitening
The Zoom Chairside Whitening system is a scientifically advanced, patent pending tooth whitening procedure that lightens discolouration of enamel and dentin. It's safe, effective and fast—very fast.
